Anytime anyone takes courage for self improvement, a compliment is appreciated. Simply saying, “You look nice” or, “I like your hair” shows compassion, whereas yelling across a restaurant, “So when did you get the rug?” is in poor taste, reflecting your character. If the level of friendship is extremely strong, goofy comments in a private Bubba-type conversation would be interpreted differently. If men want to talk about their hair, they will talk about it. Otherwise, it’s the end of the subject, so don’t push it. People have to remember that personal choices have personal reasons. Cosmetic surgery, hair transplants, and marriage counseling are not signs of insecurity; they are choices. A good friend is supportive and understanding.
